Thread Content

Optical display is a leading industry in the new generation of information technology; it has a wide range of applications, high demand, and rapid growth, and it requires very high technical standards for its raw materials. MS resin is a copolymer of methyl methacrylate and styrene, and can be widely used in fields such as optical displays, daily necessities, and medicine. In March this year, Wanhua Chemical succeeded in developing the key production technologies for optical-grade MS resin; a pilot plant capable of producing 1,000 tons per year was able to manufacture qualified products, adding another new element to Wanhua Chemical’s optical materials business. Recently, the pilot-scale products of extrusion-grade and injection-molding-grade MS have received approval from key customers in industries such as optical displays and daily necessities, laying the foundation for future mass production.
